🇮🇷 About half of them (7 out of 13) got UNSUSPENDED in the meantime. Welcome back to @EllyK3499 as well! * 💥 While X should focus on taking down bazillions of fakes, impersonators and scammers, they prefer to mess with the remaining genuine people on this platform instead. 💥
Dear @michaelo,@petersellis,@singhai,@Safety Once again, a large number of active, policy-compliant Iranian accounts on X have been hit by coordinated mass reporting and subsequently suspended. These users have been consistently posting within the platform’s rules, mainly amplifying the real voices of the Iranian people and their legitimate opposition to the current regime. Their activity has remained peaceful and in full compliance with X’s policies. We respectfully ask you to personally review the histories of these accounts. It will become clear that no rules have been violated and that these suspensions appear to be the result of organized mass reporting aimed at silencing Iranian voices. This pattern has repeated multiple times. We kindly request a fair and thorough investigation, along with the reinstatement of accounts that have always followed the rules. Examples of recently affected accounts include: @zaryabb20 @aphrodite_levi5 @sardar_irani1 @sarbaz_Shahiran @sarbazeshah111 @ScarFace_2582 @policenama1401 @Constan63413921 @Shahparast98 @HizhaPixel @flamingo_irani2 @shahrvandepare @verrajam Thank you for your attention and for helping ensure X remains a place where all voices — including those of the Iranian people — can be heard freely.🙏

It really seems like Elon Musk is pushing everything anti-Ukrainian, anti-Zelenskyy, pro-russian, and pro-putin on X, while quietly suppressing the reach of pro-Ukrainian content. At least that’s the impression I’ve been getting lately.

This is the evil we need to find and shut down. If we could stop these propaganda and influence campaigns we would be much safer. This is literally an attack on our sovereignty IMO @TheEuropeansHQ

While VU blog.verification-unit.com came back on 17 Oct with daily fresh alerts after a hiatus of 4 weeks, their collaborator @SalVUs_SerVUs apparently went inactive on 29 July. Here's one of the long list of scammers he shared that is still "walking free". xitter.cf/SalVUs_SerVUs/status/1…

Details of the hijacking are here, and Grok - instead of taking the role of a "customer helpline" chatbot - actually turned out to be in (almost) no way helpful in detecting what's going on. A simple Google search was way more effective in this regard. 👉 xitter.cf/i/grok/share/bGVnYWN5_….

You're right, the 2nd account was the scam bot, a hijacked /repurposed account originally belonging to a news site in Catalonia (elpuntavui.cat). It looks like that we're witnessing the restoration to the original @elpuntavui right now. User ID numbers cannot be changed.

This is demonstrably true. Previously, each Vatnik Soup thread received between 300k and 5M impressions. Now, we're lucky if we get 100k. Our annual views have dropped from 700M to 280M. Posts about Ukraine shared by accounts with millions of followers barely get any traction, whereas our more generic posts about AI, for example, can get millions of views. Ukraine is still one of the hottest topics on this platform, yet voices supporting the country are being throttled, just like Starlink/Starshield was.
Elon Musk has done to x what he did to starlink. That’s why pro Ukraine posts get almost no coverage

Elon is one of the biggest scammers on this planet.
Elon claims Ukraine broke Starlink's rules by using it for drone strikes. But Ukraine was using Starshield, the military version of Starlink. The Pentagon had signed contracts with SpaceX to provide thousands of Starshield terminals to Ukraine. According to the Wall Street Journal and CBS News, Musk himself ordered the restrictions that disrupted Ukrainian drone operations. Elon is deliberately mixing up Starlink and Starshield to shift the blame.

The scammer is using @angelshalagina ‘s name but someone else’s photo. Our friend Ran says X only uses names to decide whether to suspend or not so let’s report for impersonation xitter.cf/i/user/211339036524381…

❗STOP DONATING TO UKRAINE❗ This is a message for anyone who has received direct messages from “soldiers” who claim they are starving or desperately need medicine. It’s a scam. These are almost always African scammers. There are no soldiers in Ukraine starving in the trenches and begging strangers for Apple/Google gift cards. Friends of mine have literally flown KFC to their mates in the trenches by drone just for fun. There is a supermarket within about an hour of every trench line. If someone in your DMs is asking for gift cards so they can “buy food/medicine for their dying comrade/cat,” it is pure horseshit. I personally get messages every day from people who have been scammed this exact way, some for $50, some for $5,000. ---- What to do? ---- If you have been donating directly to “soldiers” who contact you privately from “the trenches”: - Stop all such donations immediately - Cut up the cards you’ve been using (or just block international payments) - Call your bank and ask them to ban international transfers/payments Thank you for caring about Ukraine. Keep your money for your own families and kids instead. Please remember you can also check WHERE an account is located, shown in the images below, click "Joined --- Date" and it will bring you to a second page, if they are in Africa they aren't in Ukraine.

While it has become almost impossible to take down fake "Ukrainian soldiers" on the cyber battlefield here on this fkd-up social media network, there is a new daily record on the "real life" battlefield with the highest amount of killed and incapacitated. xitter.cf/i/trending/21131571526…
